Ian Hunter - Ships - 1999 Remastered Version lyrics

We walked to the sea, just my father and me And the dogs played around on the sand Winter cold cut the air, hanging still everywhere Dressed in gray did he say hold my hand? I said love's easier when it's far away We sat and watched the distant lights We're two ships that pa** in the night And we smile when we say it's alright We're still here, it's just that we're out of sight Like those ships that pa** in the night, yeah There's a boat on the line where the sea meets the sky There's another that rides far behind And it seems, you and I are like strangers Wide ways apart as we drift on through time He said it's harder now, you're far away We only read you when you write We're two ships that pa** in the night We both smile when we say it's alright We're still here, oh, it's just that we're out of sight Like those ships that pa** in the night We're just two ships that pa** in the night We're just two ships that pa** in the night We're just two ships that pa** in the night We're just two ships that pa** in the night We're just two ships that pa** in the night We're just two ships that pa** in the night Ships that pa** in the night We're just two ships that pa** in the night
